    How does this rum taste?

    The Exception from Foursquare distillery, bottled by Famille Ricci, is a distinguished 20-year-old rum from Barbados. Distilled in 2001 from molasses using both a Pot and Column Still, this rum offers a highly complex profile with prominent notes of raisin, vanilla, coconut, and tropical fruit. Bottled at cask strength and with an ABV of 56.8%, it presents a powerful yet finely balanced experience. Enthusiasts praise its harmonious integration of woody and roasted flavors, making it both a unique and coveted offering due to its limited release of only 160 bottles. Keep in mind its exclusive availability and higher price are typical considerations for collectors.

    This is a lovely bottling and I got the nose as soon as I opened the sample. The fruit is there especially coconut that I love in the rums from Barbados followed by the wood and spices in near perfect harmony. The empty glass will release the most wonderful flavours after and hour or so and even the day after you still get some of the flavours. Price to quality is OK.

    An ultra-gourmand Foursquare. They must have slipped some Bounty into the keg!

    Wouah… c’est tout ce que j’aime!! Un nez magnifique sur les fruits exotiques avec un léger vernis, une bouche juste boisée et agréable, l’alcool tres bien intégré et une finale qui dure et qui dure… j’adore !

    Good, but doesn't seem exceptional. I prefer some Blackadders. Tasted quickly: to be tried again.
